Lagna in Cancer 17°19'20"
Cancer in the Ascendant gives a pleasing appearance of medium height, a round face, a thick neck and plump buttocks. Amiable in disposition, soft in speech, a connoisseur of good food and fond of luxurious living. You have the admirable quality of feeling at home in almost every situation.

You are a bundle of contradictions, greatly influenced by your planetary configurations. You are gentle, feminine in attribute, watery and have strength during the night and when 'resting near a lake, pond, or sand bank.' Materialistic in your approach to life, you are nevertheless capable of attaining great heights in spiritual practices. You may withdraw from the mainstream of life, actively pursuing your ethereal interests in seclusion, though outwardly you seem to be deeply engrossed in your earthly profession.

You can rise to sublime heights or sink into gross materialism. However, you do not really enjoy any situation. You may easily capture the object of your desire, but sex alone will not satisfy you. You may possess material riches and luxuries, but pine for something else. Even spiritual attainments and realizations seem of no consequence. Either you long for the past, or for that which is not yet in your possession.

Your attitude toward life and the parameters of your emotions and thoughts are always changing-nothing can hold your attention for long. You always shine in reflected glory. You must hold onto someone higher, mightier, wealthier, more respected, through whose support and patronage you can express your own qualities. In the absence of such an influence you seem forlorn, made of straw.

Given the opportunity to explain abstruse philosophical thoughts, you can reel out poetry to express them beautifully. But if required to articulate your own independent ideas on any subject, you might fail miserably. As long as love and affection are bestowed on you, you will react with the greatest sincerity, but once that situation of warmth and recognition is withdrawn, you become most miserable, just as if the life force had been drained from you. It has been observed, that emotional excitement, aggressive designs, and the pursuit of self-aggrandizement often lead a Cancer born individual to destruction.

Your greatest trouble comes from Saturn, the planet of restriction: whenever any situation arises which impedes your natural growth, you get enmeshed in an inextricable tangle. Your marriage is seldom happy; you often surrender yourself to your partner, either in emotional excitation or through some kind of infatuation, only to discover that your understanding of the situation was not realistic.

Something done in a hurry, prohibited by society and performed to derive some mean favor, often becomes a stumbling block, causing life long sorrow. Whatever happens in life, you are basically shy, unable to express your innermost feelings and thoughts or live a completely natural life.

If you examine carefully several horoscopes of persons born in Cancer Ascendant, you will invariably find that Jupiter in his Dasha has given rise to both good and bad results - bad in respect of debts, diseases and enemies. Though Jupiter may not cause Raja Yoga in the strict sense, as he promotes business and professional prospects involving you at the same time in misunderstandings, troubles, annoyances and ill-health.
